Here you will be treated to the beers you grew fond of in your college days, because let's face it, that is all you could afford. Join us for a fun filled afternoon of grilled foods and retro beer in our Chicago backyard. It is a great way to reconnect with others to talk about what you did over the summer. Please join us rain or shine for this all ages event and be sure to come hungry because this Italian household always cooks for a village! Vegetarian options are available. Retro Beer = PBR, Hamms, Old Style, etc. Tubular = hot dogs, sausages, banana peppers. etc. And not to worry all of you "crafties", we have scheduled this event so it does not conflict with the 2014 Oak Park Micro Brew Review.

If you’ve been to Hawaii, you know that every eatery there offers a ‘plate lunch’---that is, okazu (main dish), a scoop of rice, and a scoop of potato-mac salad. We will provide two ono (tasty) plate lunch options (one vegetarian) along with various pupus (appetizers) and something sweet to finish the meal. Our Kafe does not have a lot of seating, so you may have a wait before your number is called. Plan to hang out with friends, or make new ones, with a da kine adult beverage or two. Drop in anytime at our downtown loft (Chicago) between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Hawaiian shirts and muumuus are encouraged and will qualify you for an extra scoop of rice. Likewise for those who use chopsticks. | 17 | 1 | .00035E7 | 35 | 5/4/14 1:00 PM | N | N |

| Join us for a “Journey to Jakarta”, complete with a “Rijsttafel”, an elaborate banquet meal adapted by the Dutch in colonial Indonesia. A Rijstaffel consists of many small plates of varying levels of spiciness (egg rolls, satay, fish, curries, meats, fruits, vegetables, pickles, and nuts), accompanied by rice prepared in several different ways as well as by Dutch and Singaporean beers. After dinner, we’ll transport our guests to steamy and turbulent 1965 Jakarta with a viewing of Peter Weir’s classic political thriller “The Year of Living Dangerously,” which stars a young Mel Gibson as an Australian reporter covering the overthrow of President Sukarno, and Sigourney Weaver as the British diplomat with whom he falls in love. This film introduces the talented actress Linda Hunt as tragic photographer Billy Kwan, the role for which she rightfully won an Academy Award. | 8 | 0 | .00075E7 | 75 | 3/8/14 6:30 PM | N | N |
